Welcome to Bruce Kendrick Bird Photography

Hello and welcome to my web-site and thanks for taking the time to come along.

May I introduce myself. I have been a birder since my early teens, when my old man gave me ‘The Observers Book of British Birds’. I soon moved on to the Collins Field Guide but I have been hooked ever since and that was over 50 years ago.

Of late, 4 years ago, I have weaned myself off the need to tick away and have taken up bird photography. I’m hooked.

So what you see on this web-site is my evolving collection of photos from recent wanderings. I am trying to take photographs which have a little wow factor and not just another ‘bird on a stick’.

May I also thank a very good friend, Mike Crutch (www.A9birds.com) in his companionship and as a mentor in slowly honing my digital photography skills. He has great patience.

Finally all these photographs are covered by copyright so please do not take a copy. On the more recent photographs you will notice that I have included the copyright symbol. Should you want a copy then please ask and I will be delighted to supply, for a small fee.

Please take a look at some of my favorite shots below.

A Barn Swallow, or swallow in common parlance, taken from a rocky beach in Symi, Greece. Symi is a delightful, small island off Rhodes. June 2018

This chap, a Golden Plover, was calling, next to a single track road in north-west Harris. July 2018

Early morning offers many benefits to the birder. The light can be soft and 'generous' and birds can be obliging. Little Egret, having a prune. Leighton Moss August 2018

A Meadow Pipit about to feed, what I imagine to be a second brood. Tiree in August 2018

A Red-throated Diver, in summer plumage, taking off from a sea loch in North Uist. Note the marvellous red eye. July 2018

A red-letter day, even to find a Snowy Owl, let alone, to get close enough to snap away. A marvellous morning spent on the machair of North Uist. July 2018.

This spirited Yellow Wagtail obliged at the entrance to a hide, near Ronda in Andalucía. Spring 2018.
